Show Notes

The book of Revelation deals on a cosmic scale with good and evil, politics and empire, community and eternity. It has intrigued and frustrated readers for millennia. How do we make sense of John's prophetic vision of cosmic war in light of the nonviolence Jesus embodies in the gospels? What does John mean to tell us about Jesus, our world, and the fate of all things? As End Times conspiracy theories surge, it's more important than ever that we read the final book of the Bible without distorting the true message of Jesus.

Based on the book Upside-Down Apocalypse, but with the benefit of or whole teaching team at Commons, this series will walk through the book of Revelation using biblical scholarship and the nonviolence of Jesus as our guide.

Along the way, we'll discover what John imagines as he weaves this profound revelation of non-violent triumph and see with fresh eyes how the Prince of Peace turns violence on its head once and for all.
